Hey germinal. Im having a issue using the current option in mc ranking and stats and im not quite sure how to go about correctly..
Heres my setup and steps...could you tell me what im overlooking? thanks
....
So i want to display current ranking and compare module on artist page
A...................if i place compare and ranking modules on mc main page it displays error code since there is no current artist to display stats..is there any way to hide module from pages that do not have current artist available on main page?
B....................So i assumed that if i were using the current feature i had to do so from another page via menu item link..so i created another page and them placed that pages menu item link inside of mc parameters menu item link option along with any modules...and it worked but was not my preferred steps....is this the way I was supposed to achieve using current option for compare and ranking mods?
C......................Every thing was working fine until i clicked on the letter bar...and it showed a 404 page becuase the ranking module was not showing current stat data...so i turned the stat modules and the letter bar then displayed the correct page when navigating to artist page from letter bar....So i disabled components letter bar and placed the letter bar module on the page and it behaved the same way....and i did not see an option to enter a menu item id withing the letter bar module like there was the option to in the search module. any way to force a menu item id into the letter bar module? or is there a better way?

Could you help me understand steps A,B,C and also tell me how to best approach displaying current data stats while using the main mc page....or if using a menu item id is actually necesarry.....how to get the letter bar to respect the menu item id...every other form of navigation within mc seems to navigate properly.
Thanks so much as always..

    hello!

    A. if you use the "CURRENT" option, the modules should be displayed ONLY in the MC internal pages (artist, album or song), using the special module positions, otherwise you can get that issue...

    B. the same as point A, really...

    C. the letterbar module will use the default ITEMID field defined on the main component parameters. is that one set?
